library

Create a library

Usage

nx generate library ...
nx g lib ... # same
By default, Nx will search for library in the default collection provisioned in angular.json.
You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:
nx g @nrwl/workspace:library ...
Show what will be generated without writing to disk:
nx g library ... --dry-run

Examples

Generate libs/myapp/mylib:
nx g lib mylib --directory=myapp
